[Video] In which phoenixes pirates and countries alike go exploring

[fierybluebird]

Did you know there's a bird of prey called a secretary bird for how ridiculous it looks? It's actually extremely dangerous though. Its legs are so powerful that rather than divebombing enemy like a falcon or eagle or strange bird pinky -- [Wait, what was that last one? Yeah screw your normal birds, One Piece has weird things as you might know

Hmm, birds, is it?

[Action]

[fierybluebird]

Aye. [Leans an arm on Japan's head.] Got more phoenix legends to share with me mate?

[asideglance]

Perhaps if I think about it I could recall something... [He looks thoughtful, even with an arm on his head.]

Take your time mate.

[Totally humming a song.]

[rules_the_north]

Nor went t' America's place f'rst.

[fierybluebird]

Yeah? What was that like?

[rules_the_north]

H' didn't stay fer long.

[fierybluebird]

Why not?

[crotchroses]

In my time, the surface of the planet has been mapped entirely. Ah, but as far as every single island and square meter, non; we know where it is, it is just a matter of getting there.

I'm afraid the age of exploration is long over, but what an exciting time it was! I had colonies across the Earth, far from my house.

[fierybluebird]

Colonies? I hear this mentioned a lot. Though coming from my world, it still seems strange that so much of yours is mapped, but you don't have a World Government uniting everyone, eh.

What were your colonies like France?

[crotchroses]

Non! We fight too much and we are too proud to unite that way. Some of us have tried but--ah-- [Wow so many potential awkward subjects there. He's just going to skip to the best part:]

They were magnifique. I exported wealth and resources from every corner of the earth, from lush forests to grassy hills, even across deserts and canyons.

Have you met Canada? He is a former colony of mine, the brother of Amerique.

[fierybluebird]

Eh, the countries in my world hardly like each other, either. They've all got their ancient enmities, but the World Government stops them from warring. I think it might be a "continent" thing though. Since my world is all island.

Ah, I haven't yet. Is he like America? I would think he'd be hard to miss then.

[fierybluebird]

Mind sharing?

[fierybluebird]

What did you explore?

Well, Boss was a pirate back in the day before he became old and forgetful.

Old and forgetful?

I used to be his colony but now I'm independent and he still treats me like a baby. He's just, how should I fucking explain it, he's always so god damn cheerful.

It's like you can punch him in the face and he will still smile. It's almost like he's regressed into a child since I grew up, dammit.

Maybe he just really likes you as a parent would.

Fathers always look after their children, no matter how violent and troublesome the kid is.
